BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Two days in practice, and still without pads or even shells, the Hilltopper defense continues to shine and build on one of the nation’s best defensive turnarounds from a year ago.
Defensive coordinator Nick Holt’s squad was the second-most improved defense last year and one of the main cogs to the Hilltoppers 12-2 which ended with a conference and bowl championship, along with a No. 24 ranking in the final Associated Press poll. WKU was in the polls again on Thursday, coming in with 11 points in the preseason Amway Coaches Poll.
